API for Beginners
Event Information
Description
API's are eating the world. This word is everywhere, though you have a hard time figuring out exactly what it's about.
Have you ever wondered how Facebook is able to automatically display your Instagram photos? How about how Evernote syncs notes between your computer and smartphone? If so, then it’s time to get excited!
We'll walk you through what it takes to link different IT systems together thanks to this common tool called an Application Programming Interface (API).
We will start off easy, explaining the basics of (web) APIs: what they are, how they work, and why they matter.
We'll use examples of Airbnb, Uber, Timeout and many more, and how API's generate incredible features we use everyday on the web.
Pre-requisites:
- No pre-requisite, this is a workshop for beginners
- No need to bring your laptop
See you soon!!
